These people are connected by memory to a couple of episodes in history that happened four hundred years ago. Yet they are still speaking NORSE!

.

They may not remember their Catholic heritage, but the fact that they can speak NORSE is a strong indicator that the original people in the tribe were Catholics,who spoke Norse.

.

LOOK at their faces. I think these people, who have lived in America for four centuries are more closely related to Scandinavians!

.

Another serendipity is our current effort to learn how to look up LENAPE words.

.

THIS IS A STRONG TEST OF OUR ABILITY TO LOOK UP LENAPE WORDS.

.

The most recognizable Norse word is "NOKOMIS."

.

What does "NOKOMIS" mean?

ANDI L: Noko’mis = a grandmother or aunt. The Sherman definition has divided the syllables to mean: A “closely related female” that “I am descended from.”

Myron: Here is the page where Sherwin defined NOKOMIS..

Just for the record, Sherwin showed that most of Longfellow's words were LENAPE-Old Norse words.

.

PATAWOMECK is a LENAPE word.

.

What does PATAWOMECK mean?

ANDI L: Per the text, the combined syllables Pata (pray), Wom/Wunne (good), and Ikk (woman) become “pray good woman.” In the context of a comment, it could mean that a “good woman prays,” or “good women pray.” In the context of a warning, it could mean “Pray, good woman!” In a religious context, it would could mean “Pray to the Good Woman.” To Catholics, that Good Woman could be “Our Lady,” who has been represented in traditional novenas as, “Our Lady of Good Council,” “Our Lady of Good Remedy,” “Our Lady of Good Hope,” and so many other good, beautiful, comforting things.

The creation of the PATAWOMECK video with tribal voices was a serendipitous event.

.

FRANK'S action of sending me the PATAWOMECK link was a serendipitous event.

.

My action to listen to a secondary video was another serendipitous event.

.

My understanding the Norse words was the result of many years of searching through the words of the VIKING and the RED MAN.Myron: The tribal name may mean that the original people of the tribal did:PARY [to the] GOOD WOMAN, who was Mary, the Mother of Jesus..

The MOTHER of JESUS,
Painted by John White, 1585

These serendipitous events provide strong evidence that,

.

When the English invaded, the AMERICANS were CATHOLICS, who spoke NORSE.

YOU watched these serendipitous events happen during your observation of this on-line semester..So when the academic authorities put you on the witness stand, you should say:"Yes, I watched it all happen. I believe that when the English invaded, the AmericDSans were CATHOLICS, who spoke NORSE
